A screening of the epic movie “Ignatius of Loyola” is set for Sunday, April 9, at Cinemark Tinseltown, I-10 West at Zaragosa Road, with shows at 2:30 PM and 5:30 PM. Open Arms Community of El Paso is sponsoring the movie by special arrangement with Ignatius Press.

The movie tells the story of young Ignatius, a brash, hot-headed soldier in a time of political upheaval in Spain. He lives a life of brutal violence and debauchery, has a life-changing conversion, survives the Spanish Inquisition, and becomes one of the greatest saints in the history of Christianity. Through his struggle to turn from darkness to light...a struggle that nearly destroyed him… he discovers the key to a spiritual weapon that continues to change lives to this day. Shot on location in Spain, it is a riveting look at the so-called “Saint of Second Chances”. St. Ignatius is the Founder of the Jesuit Order and the author of the classic work “The Spiritual Exercises”.

Open Arms sponsored the movie in February at the same theater with space almost totally sold out. Many people who missed the first showings have expressed thanks for the return engagement. Some comments heard from attendees after the last showing: “Best movie I’ve ever seen.” “I’m telling my friends they better see this when it comes again.” “Had no idea it would be so great.” “Fantastic.” “The story, the visuals, the acting… IgnatiusPress has given us a great gift in this film.” “They should make more like this.”
